Bug#953346: open-vm-tools: consider raise process priority of vmtoolsd
Hi, After discussing this issue with upstream we came to the conclusion that reverting this is the best option as it is possible to start programs trough vmtoolsd and they would also run with a nice level of -20. Upstream will fix this issue in a sane way. I've reopened the bug.

Hi Aron, which nice level do you suggest? -10?

Package: open-vm-tools Severity: wishlist I've been experiencing false alarms of VM monitoring for those who runs very CPU intensive tasks for long time (i.e. several hours), and it seems that raising the process priority of vmtoolsd will let the watchdog work more properly. This has relaxed the situation for several VMs at my site so I think it might be worth proposing. Cheers, Aron
